Is this lip filler infected? (Photo)

milica001
I had my lips done with hyaluron filler(nor sure which one),3 weeks ago,and everything was fine.This morning i had swelling on right side of my lips and between nose and lips, but just on right side.Could this be infection? And why?I doubt that it's allergic reaction because i have fillers in nose and chin too bt they are not swollen.My doctor is on vacation,and he prescribed me antabiotics, until he gets back and see me in person. But i just wonder if it's infection and what caused it.
